Resource Center - Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun. Earth is the largest of the terrestrial planets in the Solar System in diameter, mass and density. It is also referred to as the Earth, Planet Earth, the World, and Terra. Home to millions of species, including humans, Earth is the only place in the universe where life is known to exist.

Scientific evidence indicates that the planet formed 4.54 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface within a billion years. Since then, Earth's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which, together with Earth's magnetic field, blocks harmful radiation, permitting life on land.

Earth's outer surface is divided into several rigid segments, or tectonic plates, that gradually migrate across the surface over periods of many millions of years. About 71% of the surface is covered with salt-water oceans, the remainder consisting of continents and islands; liquid water, necessary for all known life, is not known to exist on any other planet's surface. Earth's interior remains active, with a thick layer of relatively solid mantle, a liquid outer core that generates a magnetic field, and a solid iron inner core. Earth interacts with other objects in outer space, including the Sun and the Moon.

At present, Earth orbits the Sun once for every roughly 366.26 times it rotates about its axis. This length of time is a sidereal year, which is equal to 365.26 solar days. The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.4° away from the perpendicular to its orbital plane, producing seasonal variations on the planet's surface with a period of one tropical year (365.24 solar days). Earth's only known natural satellite, the Moon, which began orbiting it about 4.53 billion years ago, provides ocean tides, stabilizes the axial tilt and gradually slows the planet's rotation. A cometary bombardment during the early history of the planet played a role in the formation of the oceans. Later, asteroid impacts caused significant changes to the surface environment.

Vision Statement and Purpose:

The air, water, food and natural environment supports all life on earth. True environmentalism teaches us to co-exist on the physical plane along with other living creatures, plant and animals without pollution or destruction of our life-support system. Learn from natural law. Our forests, our rivers, our oceans are part of us. Love yourself and the planet for the sake of all future generations. Apply the golden rule to nature and all our relations.

Redesign all our energy production, manufacturing systems and consumption patterns to live in balance so others may simply live. Consume far less than you produce and recycle everything. Leave no carbon footprint and tread lightly on the earth.

"For the last fifty lifetimes, you’ve been preparing for success. You have developed the skill to see any situation from a point of view of spotting the opportunities in it. Success is an inherent skill that comes with being you. It’s as much a part of you as breathing. You can’t do anything but succeed. You just stumble into success because you’ve been prepared for it for so long. You can’t help being a success. And then suddenly, in your clear, transparent space of success, there is this little particle of failure. No, no, whatever you do, don’t look at it." - Harry Palmer
